  1. Have you asked here? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/fHhg9H6kzeiFoQDF/
  2. What did Land Girls at receive at the end of their service? Their last weeks’ pay A letter from the Queen thanking them for their efforts In some extreme circumstances, money from the Land Army Benevolent Fund Greatcoats – only if they were dyed blue Armbands And in return for the rest of their uniform – 20 clothing coupons https://www.womenslandarmy.co.uk/post-world-war-two/ Wrens being fitted with demob clothes at the end of World War Two 1945. Caption and photo from:- https://shop.memorylane.co.uk/mirror/0200to0299-00206/wrens-fitted-demob-clothes-end-world-war-1945-21397816.html
  3. An American ready made converter:- How It Works Takes power from the tail light circuit, wire #21, and converts it to 12 volts. That 12 volt power is fed into relays that are triggered by wires# 22-460 and 22-461, the left and right stop/turn circuits. The 12 volts from the power converter and relays are fed to a civilian trailer connector. The tractor versions have additional relays that provide separate turn and stop lighting circuits for semi trailers. https://www.xm381.com/Mil_to_Civi_Info.html Would it show indicator failure?
  4. LED 10v-30v bulbs can be used on both 12 volt and 24 volt lighting systems. https://bedazzledledlighting.co.uk/product-category/led-bulbs/ Not sure about the use of LED bulbs in trailers as they are technically a vehicle MOT failure.

  8. A few ideas in the Yesterday's Tractors Discussion Forums. The Corn Head Grease* is a new product to me. https://www.yesterdaystractors.com/cgi-bin/viewit.cgi?bd=rrtips&th=34559 *Corn Head Grease has superior water tolerance and resists water washout, exhibits good high temperature capabilities and has outstanding mechanical stability by retaining its consistency in hard use.
  9. A variation of the origin:- When a horse kicks up debris it is also referred to being “dashed up”. So the board on the front is to protect form the horses dashing, hence dashboard.
  10.

  11. Doesn't give the make of car but a caption for the first photo:- 1st Battalion, King’s Own Royal Regiment, MT Driver and staff car, Italy, 1944-45. Marking on car indicates 56th London Division, so possibly as late as 1946. From:- http://www.kingsownmuseum.com/ko2603.htm
